TRENTON — Jamar Harrington had another huge week for Richlands, racking up 328 yards rushing and four touchdowns as the Wildcats defeated Jones Senior 41-18 on Friday night.

Harrington, who averaged more than 12 yards per carry against the Trojans, scored the game’s opening touchdown — a 10 yard run, halfway through the first quarter — to give the Wildcats the early lead.

Richlands, which held the Trojans to a combined eight yards in the first quarter had several miscues early on that kept Jones Senior around.

A missed 31-yard field goal kept the Wildcats from extending the lead on their second drive and a fumble by Brandon Thompson led to a one-play, nine yard run by quarterback Glen White to pull within a point.

Jones Senior had only one first down in the first half.

Harrington, who also had scores from 2, 31 and 15 yards, had his longest play from scrimmage at the end of the second quarter. The quarterback turned running back took a pitch and rolled out right on a designed halfback pass. However, after being flushed back towards the Jones Senior bench, the senior reversed field for a 50-yard run.

With the Trojans hoping to go into the locker room down just 14-6, Quentin Fenn finished the drive with a five-yard score — and a 21-6 halftime lead.

“I’m really thrilled with the boys,” Richlands coach Justin Snider said. “We’re 3-2 and just four points from being undefeated. I feel like the each week we’ve progressively got better.”

Jones Senior, which has faced one of the toughest nonconference slates in the area, has one more tough week before entering what could possibly be a winnable conference schedule. The Trojans face rival Southwest Onslow next week. The Stallions defeated Richlands by one point earlier this year.

With winnable games on the calendar the Trojans offense gave a brief reason for optimism in the fourth quarter. Jones Senior, which had attempted just two pass through the first three quarters, opened up their play book and aired the ball out for the fourth. White connected with Demetrius Williams for scores from 19- and 13-yards out to give the games’ final tally.

“Right now we’re just concentrating on getting better every game,” Jones coach John Davis said. “At the end of the game you could see our never say die attitude.”

White finished with 70 passing yards on five completions. He also led all Trojan rushers with 55-yards.

Harrington, who finished with 256 all-purpose yards against South Lenoir last week, has averaged 10.72 yards per carry over the last two weeks of nonconference play.

As a team, Richlands finished the game with 497 yards of offense. Fenn added 78 yards on nine carries.
